The Nassau Museum of Art is a must-see

I recently had the pleasure of attending another exhibit at the Nassau County Museum of Art, one of my favorite Long Island venues to visit.

While I usually enjoy any of the museum’s current exhibitions, the current “Garden Party” may have stood out as my favorite. There were some truly beautiful paintings and art on display.

Before getting a tour of the exhibit, the museum’s corporate committee discussed the museum and the many things it does for the community, in addition to its exhibits. For example, the Nassau County Museum of Art services more than 20,000 school children each year, as art is a particularly important educational element for young children.

The museum is also set on some beautiful grounds that people can enjoy. The corporate committee also noted that the 2014 Museum Ball is upcoming on June 14, 2014, with a “Masquerade in the Garden” theme.

Franklin Hill Perrell, the co-curator of the current Garden Party exhibit, spoke about the museum, including the house and the grounds, and added that the timing of the Garden Party exhibit was done in anticipation of spring. Following his talk, Perrell gave a truly excellent tour of the exhibit and its wonderful art.

I thoroughly enjoyed viewing the art in the Garden Party exhibit, especially considering we are finally seeing beautiful weather.

The museum is a great summer destination for Long Islanders and I would encourage my New York City friends to come visit too.
